The response of the terrestrial biosphere to warming remains one of the most poorly understood and quantified aspects of the climate system. One way to test the behavior of the …

Paleoelevation reconstructions of the Himalayan mountains and Tibetan Plateau have been a focus of geoscientists, as they can improve our understanding of the temporal evolution of …
The hydrogen isotopic composition of leaf waxes (δD wax) primarily reflects that of plant source water. Therefore, sedimentary δD wax records are increasingly used to reconstruct …

Terrestrial leaf wax n-alkane biomarkers provide considerable insights into paleoenvironmental reconstruction. Over decades, a substantial number of field …
Waxy compounds form the boundary layer of the living leaf and contribute biomarkers to soils, and lake and marine sediments. Cataloging the variation in leaf wax traits between …
In popular discourse, tropical forests are synonymous with'nature'and'wilderness'; battlegrounds between apparently pristine floral, faunal, and human communities, and the …
Tropical montane regions tend to have high rates of precipitation, biological production, erosion, and sediment export, which together move material off the landscape and toward …
In the late Miocene, grasslands spread across the forested floodplains of the Himalayan foreland, but the causes of the ecological transition are still debated. Recent seafloor drilling …
Our understanding of how temporal variations of atmospheric water vapour and its isotopic composition (δ18 OV) influence water and assimilates in plants remains limited, restricting …
